(3,945 posts)Warnings during blackouts? Insufficient warnings? Not enough time to get out?
And of course when it's an actual Hamas target, no warnings are given or what would be the point. Sadly they are with family and neighbours as ensured by Where's Daddy AI.
Which brings me to the question that's been puzzling me. If warnings are given, obviously there are no Hamas targets. So why the massive 2000 lb bombs, or any bombs, to flatten entire neighbourhoods? To a lot of people this looks like pure, unneccessary destruction. That, coupled with the many deaths from bombing - somehow in spite of the "warnings" - makes people think of intentional killing. From there, thoughts of genocide are not far off. Can you try to see why this accusation is happening?
ETA: The systematic obstruction of aid leading to potential or near-famine is another, important reason the g--word is raised. And the domicide, the destruction of the medical system, the denial of fuel and clean water, the dismantling of the life-saving aid agency. Etc etc .So actually there are a lot of factors all pointing in the g-word direction.
